I Need A Little Christmas

5 comments:

Way OT, but I have been reading a book about Grant Wood, the regionalist painter. He studied in Europe and synthesized a number of styles into his mature work. I learned of a post-expressionist movement in Weimar Germany called neue sachlichkeit, which seems to have a variety of meanings.

In any case, Wood painted the Midwest in a way that always struck me, a person from the Southeast, as most wonderfully alive.

But, as you were - I hope you have a very Merry Christmas way out there on the other edge of the continent.
